Most people think “more cardio = better results.”
Wrong.
Cardio is a tool — and like any tool, you use it based on your GOAL.
💪 Bodybuilding:
Use cardio to stay conditioned without burning muscle. Think low-intensity steady state (LISS) 2–4x per week. It complements your lift… not replaces it.
🔥 Fat Loss:
Cardio helps create a calorie deficit — but only when paired with strength training + proper nutrition. Mix LISS + HIIT for the perfect fat-burn combo.
✨ Lean & Tone:
Too much cardio makes you smaller but not shaped. Use moderate cardio + consistent resistance training to get that sculpted, athletic look.
⚖️ General Weight Loss:
Cardio helps, but the real driver is your diet. Most people overdo cardio and under-lift. Balance both for sustainable results.
